Backbreaker Trailer: On the Field

Re: New Back Breaker Trailer

That will be tremendous if it does! Hopefully it was just the trailer that made that look that it was only 30 FPS.

I read a while back that they actually have the game running at 90fps!

Yikes, wouldn't that be something! I know that 100 FPS is essentially the next step from 60 FPS, so if they feel they can do 90 FPS without tons of optimization, I'm all for that.

I suppose the trailer downscaled the framerate or something though, because the trailer definitely wasn't running in 60 or 90 FPS.

Re: New Back Breaker Trailer

i have yet to see a runner break a tackle. the only things i see are big hits and jukes. if anyone else has seen a broken tackle, let me know.

no, that was for the tackling sequences or something like that....game should run at 60fps.. I wonder if it was just that video, or gametrailers... maybe if someone downloads it, it'll move smoother.

Re: New Back Breaker Trailer

Anyone else think its funny that David Hayter (Solid Snake, "Its in the game" guy) voiced this trailer? Or at least someone that sounds very much like him

Re: New Back Breaker Trailer

I think that trailer just made me not want to get it now. 90% of the passes they showed was dropping off their back foot passing. I paused and replayed certain areas and it looks as if I could see some suction blocking also.

The running looks really stiff and just on a whole not very polished.

The QB's looked like they were jump passing the ball.

Not loving those fadeaway passes.

Re: New Back Breaker Trailer

I have a feeling this game will be a one and done type game. I just don't see enough to garner enough sales to make sequels to allow it to grow.

Maybe it gets interesting enough for another company to step in and buy the tech.

The game needs a hook with all the disadvantages it has. The hardcore here may not want to hear it, but those free-form big hits may be enough to draw out some casual purchases. It shouldn't be expected that it's going to get most base football concepts correct on their first pass. I know people will hate to hear it, but Madden had back-foot passing in their game for years into next gen. At the very least this may be a case study on why it's next to futile for any developer to attempt making a non-licensed football game. I think there's a lot of unrealistic expectations riding on the title

I'm sure this will be a slider based game, for me at least. I absolutely love the catch animations; as you can tell the receiver actually looks the ball in, and uses soft hands on the catch. Still waiting for more to come.

I read on the BB forum that they made the video with user control. What I mean is that the backfoot passes were due to the user throwing before the QB's steps were complete. This should however negatively effect the accuracy of the pass, not to mention the timing of the play.

Re: New Back Breaker Trailer

I hope that the "Break Records" comment means that there will be a deep statistical tracking element to the game.

Re: New Back Breaker Trailer

Despite player stiffness and fadeaway passes, this game looked really really fun! Everything looked smooth and the interactions looked very solid. That got me really jacked to play this game. From what I saw, it looks like the big hit frequency thing will not be an issue, the tackles looked more reasonable there.

Re: New Back Breaker Trailer

I just want to see in-game footage, not just quick cutscenes and footage. I will say the passing game looks a little iffy.

I noticed in the earlier trailer that DB's looked like they were standing in cement when the WR's caught balls downfield.

I suppose the statement should be "We have yet to see a RB truck at all" They have yet to show a power back try and go head to head with someone and that is something I am very interested in seeing.

There is very brief footage from the E3 video that shows the players breaking out of a tackle and also being tackled and losing balance only to put his hand on the ground to try and get more yards.

0:34 guy breaks out of a tackle
0:41-43 #42 has a defender fall off his back as he runs forward
0:43-46 guy plants his hand to regain balance(it almost looks like he slipped the defender a roofie or something because he is just laying on the ground after falling down and he then trips over the body)

Re: New Back Breaker Trailer

Looks pretty good, but not good enough to garner a sequel. The average gamer will just see Madden without NFL players.

I might get it.
